Moving House

So, it’s finally happening – Mrs Earth-Prime and I are moving house on Friday after spending months waiting for it to all go through. Most of the delay was due to the Covid-19 lockdown situation, but this last month or so has just been the buyer of our property dragging their heels.

Still, it’s done. Due to that, I will be offline for a week or so while we wait for connection at the new house to be sorted. Mash-Ups are pre-planned and ready to go, I just won’t be adding anything new or responding to comments for a little while.

Be back soon.

The Future State Of DC

Remember all the hoo-hah earlier this year about the planned 5G/Generations event that apparently helped play a part in the removal of Dan DiDio from DC? Part of the issue was that the plan was to replace all the usual heroes’ alter egos with brand new ones, maybe as a jumping on point for new readers, maybe as an event with everything eventually resetting. So Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, and Diana would no longer be Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman but rather newer, younger characters would be wearing those suits and taking on those identities.

Well it sure sounds like DC wants to have its cake and eat it with the announcement over the weekend about FUTURE STATE, a two month event where…

future and alternate versions of the heroes of the DC Universe in a series of miniseries and anthology titles, which will replace the publisher’s regular monthly titles for two months in January and February 2021

Regular series will go on hiatus to be replaced by these new issues where an “all-new Batman” along with “Clark’s son Jon [who] has taken on the mantle of Superman” and “Yara Flor is … the new Wonder Woman” take over.

Alongside those, there’s a couple of Green Lantern and Justice League titles and maybe one or two others that I might get to replace the regular monthly titles but honestly . . . I’m tempted not to bother with them at all.

We shall have to see, I guess.

New Crisis #7 Homages

Alejandro got in touch via that Contact Me page at the top to send me a new CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #7 Death of Supergirl cover homage – “new” in the sense that I didn’t have it; the cover actually comes from 1994.

As I already had a few extras waiting to be uploaded, I thought I’d get off my lazy arse and put them on the Homages Page, so thanks, Alejandro! Here’s the cover he sent over:

MARS #1 from 1984
